Form
I think so far the form is keeping with the standard college essay, except for the fact it's a little too personal and doesn't have all the logic I would like to imbue it with to ensure that the subject is taken seriously.
Production
Writing this sections weren't so bad, mostly because in my writing process I just sort of word vomit everything at once and then go and fix it and make it sound better later, and ensure that I have the necessary sources and everything else.
Outline Item
- Why using they is a good choice for gender neutral singular pronoun
- Other options promoted
- Shows how there is most definitely a need for a gender neutral pronoun, as well as a desire for one among people (Yo! Mama)
Adaptation of Outline Item
Why do we need gender neutral pronouns you may ask? Number one reason is that people do not fit into the perfect square of gender that we like to pretend exists, and it is harmful to those individuals and ridiculously rude to call them something they are not. Like a child on a playground wanting to hurt another, a person shouts the wrong name, the wrong pronoun, they misgender the person and think they may be justified in doing so. Quite a ridiculous, juvenile approach to something that merely, most people do not understand,
Some pronouns proposed seem quite ridiculous, and seem to want to emphasize how different or “other” someone must be if they want to use such pronouns; things like thon, hse, ve, hann, and hiser. Others are better and maybe more in line with the gendered pronouns already existent; e,ey,er,ze, and xe (Marritz).While better, these are new things, and if someone is not accepting of a person for their expression of gender already, it is very unlikely that they would even contemplate using a new pronoun for them. (Dunno what happened with the spacing here)
